Condition Report
The sugar caster displays general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. There are two noticeable dints to the pierced decoration on the lid and the inner rim is pushed in slightly on one side and therefore a little bit misshapen. The foot rim is also slightly misshapen. The hallmarks and maker's marks are rubbed but still legible. There is also a full set of hallmarks to the inner rim of the lid, these are very clear.
